In this nostalgic and revealing episode of Backstage Pass with Gentry Thomas, we sit down with singer‑actor legend Shaun Cassidy as he promotes his upcoming “Road to Us” tour. Want to catch a show? Check out tour dates and ticket info here: <a class="decorated-link cursor-pointer" href="https://www.shauncassidy.com/" data-start="333" data-end="403">ShaunCassidy.com/live‑shows</a> Shaun opens up about growing up in a household filled with award‑winning actors — with show business being more than just a dream, but a family legacy. He recalls the whirlwind of success at a young age: the whirlwind popularity, the pressure, and how in 1978 he won “Best New Artist” at the height of his fame — a time when his date to the awards ceremony was none other than Carrie Fisher, adding a uniquely Hollywood twist to his teen‑stardom story. Throughout the episode, Shaun reflects on the ups and downs of early fame, how it shaped him as a performer and as a person, and what motivated him to hit the road again now. With laughs, memories, and honest reflections on the music business — this conversation is a must-listen for fans of classic pop‑rock, celebrity stories, and real talk about growing up in the spotlight.
